That's a lot of negative press about the stadium today, including one article calling it a "bait and switch" and others all but calling the deal crooked. I'm confident that this will all be resolved peaceably and the naysayers will quietly just slip away. If we've learned anything this year, it's that our FO is a first-class organization.

OMG this guy can't be serious!
He is obviously a serious crack smoker!

LA Galaxy Fans = Best fans in MLS?

Quote:

Best Fans: Now, honorable mentions should go to Real Salt Lake fans for showing up in quality numbers even when their team lost game after game - or Chivas USA fans for bringing more flags, banners, streamers, wrestling masks, confetti, smoke bombs, balloons, away fans, club colors and organized movement and cheers than I've ever seen in MLS.

But in this anniversary season of the league, there's no ignoring that Galaxy fans have topped the numbers in attendance every single year of the league - especially in a year when the average comes out to be the second-best ever in the history of the club. Yes, there's a pretty stadium in Los Angeles, but Dallas, Columbus and even Chivas USA have proven that's not everything. The turnout this year was especially notable given the team's relatively poor season. The main Galaxy supporters groups, the LA Riot Squad and the Galaxians, are the faithful, but props go to all who fill the Home Depot Center, from the soccer kiddies to the ex-pats who only showed up for Real Madrid. It has been the Galaxy fans and market, more than any other, which have proven that soccer is a viable commodity as a professional sport.

I hate when people miss, so miserably, the point of being a fan...
It is not JUST Numbers....

Oh yeah and there is yet another dig at Mathis in there... So original that I suggest you skip it!

They're giving props to jerks who won't show up for MLS? Calling them the best fans in MLS?

Let's go ahead and give props to the owners of Spartan and Giants stadiums as well. Thanks so much for keeping us down all these years. You guys are great!

You have to consider the source. She must work for FSC, or at least really want to.

Do I even need to start with FSC and their LAG homering?

Like LA residents tend to say, "No Justice, No Peace!"

The Galaxy has to compete with 2 major league baseball teams (or like we like to say in the OC, one major league baseball team and the Dodgers), arena football, the beach, Lakers' playoffs (most seasons), USC & UCLA football in the fall. (USC doesn't have that Salary Cap to worry about like an NFL team would)

And for many Galaxy fans, the Galaxy has to compete with the Interligas or whatever Mexican league games are going on in the Coliseum.

Sure, Home Depot is pretty; but Carson does not have a whole lot else of interest unless you are a petroleum engineer or you want to buy some crack.

Perhaps most importantly, the Galaxy is the team that gave us the '96 MLS Cup Final, the '97 CONCACAF Club Cup final, the 2001 MLS Cup final, the 2003 semifinals, etc. Take THAT, Atlanta Braves.
